Tell us about the Opportunity / What is it?

Bar Cards: postcard media for young, socially active adults, from postcard racks in 770 of the UK’s most stylish bars. Racks are located in the central bar area and carry brands relevant to the entertainment-seeking crowd. Cards are passed around amongst friends, used as conversation topics, pocketed and taken home after a night out. Bar Experiential: Bespoke media delivered in the right location at the right time, according to the brief. Experiential brings brands to life using a range of activities from sampling, product distribution, demo and promotion

What is the Marketing Objective?

Primary: In-bar media creates positive brand experiences and message delivery amongst socially active young adults when they are relaxed, open-minded and with friends. Secondary: Enabling the target audience to make a personal connection with your brand.

How does it work?

Bar Cards develop ‘warm prospects’. They allow consumers self-select brand messages from the rack. Bar Cards are sought out, browsed and selected whilst young adults are out socialising with friends. Postcards are handed around, discussed and pocketed to be looked at the next day. Bar Experiential brings brands to life amongst the desired audience and environment. The nature of Bar Experiential (such as sampling and interactive media) allows the audience to make a personal brand connection, delivering a positive experiences and the opportunity to try product
